The reason people find it so hard to be happy, is that they always see

The past better than it was

The present worse than it is

And the future less resolved than it will be. <3

I find myself guilty of this every day! I need to learn to have faith in God and his plan. I need to learn that whatever happens, is what is exactly meant to happen! I know that God will not let anything happen, that won't make me so happy in the end. I'm so thankful to have a guy that has chosen the lord over me. Because he is out there preparing himself to be the best husband, father, and preisthood holder that he can possibly be. And now it is just up to me to become the best that I can be for him (: I told Bake in this last letter that I wrote him, that I want him to completely lose himself in his work. Because I have always heard of the quote "to find yourself you must lose yourself" but I never quite understood it fully until now. He needs to lose himself in the work, and then find himself among that work. so that when God brings him back home to me, he is exactly who God intended him to be (: Having a missionary is not easy at all. It takes so much faith and patience. Having a missionary is not for the fearful. It's for those who know a good thing when they see it, even if they don't see it nearly enough. I know that at the end of all of this, I will be so grateful that I stuck it out. because I KNOW that I am waiting for the very best! And I can't wait until the day that I can wrap my arms around him again. But until then, I will work on having so much more faith in God. and bettering myself for this amazing man that Baker is becoming (:
